Senior transfer Stephen Amoako will get the first start of his ULM career against Auburn at “buck” safety. Amoako, who started his college career at Oregon and played at Illinois State, joined the program over the summer.

ULM coach Matt Viator said sophomore free safety Marcus Hubbard is questionable to play at Auburn. Hubbard injured his hamstring on the first play of the second half at Georgia Southern.

Sophomore Ben Luckett is now officially listed as ULM’s starting running back after senior Tyler Cain wasn’t granted a medical redshirt by the NCAA. Freshman Duke Carter is the second-team running back.

Freshman Eastwood Thomas is set to make his third start at right tackle at Auburn. Freshman T.J. Fiailoa will slide over from guard to back up Thomas while fellow first-year player Sam Williams is the backup to Rey Baltazar at left tackle.
